GORDEN CHARLES PATTON
Gorden Charles Patton, born April 6, 1947, in Selkirk, MB, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Winnipeg. Those who knew of his appreciation for precision may find it noteworthy that he passed exactly 75 years from his date of birth.
In his younger years, Dad worked for Manitoba Hydro and later joined Canada Post. In his 30s, he went back to school and attended the University of Manitoba, where he earned his teaching degree. No matter where he lived, Dad was sure to have a good book and some sort of cigar or pipe close at hand. A quiet, intellectual man, he was quick with his characteristic half-smile when something amused him.
Dad was predeceased by his brother Raymond and sister Darlene (Ray Molinski). He is survived by his children: Shawn (Angel) Patton, Kim (Rick) Hart, and Ginette Demaere, as well as his seven grandchildren: Sebastian, Talia, Madeline, Ethan, Julien, Chantal, and Justine. Dad also leaves behind two brothers, James and David, brother-in-law Ray, nieces, Brenda and Marla (Justin), and nephews, James, Daryl, and Trevor (Shelley).
Dad will be deeply missed.
No formal service will be held.
